You'll be making progress in no time.
We're glad you can join us, Catrice.
What's your current regimen?
Aww!!!!!! Thanks Pretty. We miss you!!!!!! Can't wait to see pics.
GM to all--I am so new to this--Please forgive me, but how do I post my pics--LOL---I currently get a wash and set at Ysela's Beauty Salon in Brooklyn(plug) once per week. My stylist is Liony and she is wonderful. I take my own products w/me religiously. I use either Garnier Fructis Poo along w/their conditioner( Length and Strength) or I am also currently trying La Bomba Poo and Deep Conditioner...Before my roller set , I have my stylist use Alter Ego Drops(Herb Ego--which gives my scalp a tingling sensation)--I swear by this stuff--I t really makes a difference. I also made up my own concoction of leave in spritz and conditioner--LOL--I've mixed together Salerm 21 and doo gro mega thick lotion. I also add a lil' Lacio Lacio. The spritz I mixed together contains a lot of things--Will give U that concoction a lil later--LOL-- I wrap my hair every night b4 bed religiously---Right now my hair is thinning and I want to get it back thick again---I have length but not the thickness I was used to--I want to purchase the Mega-Tek..I also have purchased some of the ingredients for the MN mix---I will try it once I mix it all together. One of my co-workers started using it about 3 weeks ago and I do see the difference in her hair--Looks a lil oily, but growing--LOL--She does it every night tho'---I may just do it every 2 days---Will be back on lata..HAve to get ready for work
Bed StuysFinest, nice to have you on the board....Enjoy
). I'm very gentle with it. When I was growing out from neck length to shoulder, I did a phony pony/phony bun for a few weeks. Once you put the bun up (and if you don't plan to undo the whole thing at night) you can just put a scarf on when you go to bed to keep it neat.
Checking in!!!! Here is my progress pic. I'm comparing this to my length in my sig. I think i got a nice amount of growth, although i wish i had hit APL. hopefully by October though.

Hey, ya'll! I'm a little late this month with my updates...
My progress pics below (click to see larger): I got a Domincan blowout in ATL for $35 when I was there for my best friend's wedding.!!! Whoo-hoo!! I had been wanting to try it out. The heat wasn't too bad, but she had my 18 week post hair feeling like I had a fresh relaxer...I can't remember my hair ever being that straight. It lasted all week in the ATL humidity altho- my roots started to rise like dough bc I sweat in my head
Still transitioning... going on my 19th week....haven't had any real issues yet...mainly doing braid-outs and up do's. My 4 month no-heat challenge is over at the end of this month...THANK GOD...so I'll be back to my roller sets and straightening my roots...
